THE SONG or THE DUDE.
GEORGE 3. JzNNzss OF oUEsEMo, KAs.

10 refuse yen q song
Would appear very rude,
And I've finally concluded
To sing of the dude;
That half human creature
With head like a man,
And otherwise built,
On the biblical plan.
Who with smirk and a scrape,
And q sickly smile,
With mustache curled,
The girls to beguilo;
With tight fitting pants,
And corseted waist,
Parades On the street
As q fellow of taste.
He's nice little,
Fair little specimen brich,
OF the kind of creations
That make Q man sick;
With his hair from the middle
Combed slickly each way,
And the airs of q donkey,
Excepting his bray.
One would think just to see him,
Stood out on the walk,
He was sign for q tailor.
And not made to talk;
So ETHEREAL his makeup,
80 exquisite his clothes,
That the use he was made Tor,
No one can propose.
With a small glove drawn over
The tip of his hand,
And posing an orange
So graceful and bland,
His other hand grasps,
With an appearance Of pain.
A fantasticL silver,
They call dude cane.
It's enough to make angels
Come down here and Wefp,
To see this queer creature
at tho dudesses peep,
And to knew it's their duty,
When the tender thing dies.
To hunt out his soul,
To transport to the skies.

Too Proud for the Kitchen.

Too Proud for the Kitchen.
New York World.
A woman prominent in New York
society, discoursing on that eminen.ly
feminine topic, servants, said few days
ago that she had been pondering Mr..
Hewitt's remarks about the matter of
equality between servants and their en-
ployers. She was woman educated at
Vassar, who dipped little in sociology,
read Henry Georges book and Mullock's
answers and had the technical phrases at
her fingers ends. ~ keep house" she
said, ''and I also belong to q half
dozen charitable associations for helping
women and I assure you the results Of
my observations in both spheres fill me
with amazement. On the one hand
am called upon to devise means to aid
whole armies Of women who are painfully
destitute. Our new theories Of charity
discourage giving money and We must
devise ways and means to make them
self-supporting, to help them to some
kind of prosperity. In the various
avenues of labor open to them they
average from IS to So so q week. When
they are economical they manage to
live; the moment they get sick or lose q
place they are horribly destitute, and
then the charitable societies have to help
them to their feet again. All this while
I am constantly worried about servants.
I give them salaries ranging from SO to
Sc week. They have no heavy labors
to perform; the work is all light, clean
and healthy. They have comfortable
rooms and luxurious food, and no ex-
pense except for clothes, which, at least
in the house, I insist shall be simple,
and I furnish the aprons and caps. I
treat them with civility, they have their
regular days and evenings out, and all
winter they have bright, warm kitchen
in which to receive their friends. In
spite of the contrast of all this with the
cold, mean little apartments that work
ing women live in, their walks to and
from their work in all kinds of weather,
and their meagrs, insufficient food, I can
scarcely find q servant when I want one.
They come in answer to my advertise
ment and in lofty, hectoring tone make
all manner of stipulations before conde-
scending to accept the place. Now why
is it that women will choose the hard life
in preference to the easy one? Can it
be possible that women prefer a preca-
rious existence and very certain resort
to charity at some time to the vastly SUI
perior position of servant maid simply
because she objects to saying yes and no
ma'am, to wearing cap and preserving
q respectful demeanor? It is absurd to
talk about it's being degrading. As far
as that goes I would just as soon have
my cook at my table as shopgirl, or
my milliner or dressmaker, 80 it can't be
that. My belief is that the whole trouble
is that among tie working classes them
selves there is totally false standard OF
pride, end until the shopgin stops snub-
bling the lady's maid there is going to
be the same trouble. It does not lie
with us, as Mr.. Hewitt thinks, but with
the working women themselves.

Colonies Taylor and Cunningham of the
bureau were they indebted to a free and
open trail. Again, when the disease OF
pleuro-pneumonia broke out In Missouri
it was promptly suppressed through the
bureau The pest at Chicago owes its
corraling to the bureau, and last month
when Texas was alarmed and in imminent
danger from false rumors that this dis
ease was at Dallas, promptly the bureau
exposed the false alarm and re-
stored confidence. Then would this
Dallas correspondent of yours presume
to say that Texas cattlemen, after in
dorsing the work of the bureau officials
for the past year, will now turn upon
them and say, you are incompetent, and
we prefer to place our interests in the
hands of Chicago's stock-yards president
and his coadjutors. No, sir; this whole
report was only designed to misrepresent
the views of the stockmen of Texas, and
perhaps as tail to the kite
of some aspiring Texan, who hoped
to be made one of the immaculate COM
mittee of three to whom the expenditure
of million of Uncle Sans money would
be allotted. We prefer if, any appropria-

ABOUT REFRIGERATED MEAT.
What IL to bs Said in Its Favor and Fort
Worth as o. Cattle Center.

The opinion of one of the oldest deal
ers in live stock in regard to the refriger-
! ating business and what he thinks about
Fort Worth in this connection was ob-
tanned Yesterday. Seeing that Houston
| is moving in this matter of g refrigerator
| it will be doubly interesting to read
what he says:
"Fort Worth, Tex, is undoUbtf dly the
recognized center OF the live stock trade
OF Texas and the best railroad distribut-
ing point in North Texas. AS cattle
market the entire beef production of
| Texas and the Indian Territory is tribu-
tary to Fort Worth, and the city can be
reached at small expense oy
the beeves produced from herds aggre-
eating in numbers no less than 000,-
600. The great sheep ranches OF West
ern Texas are nearer Fort Worth than any
other market. Three-fourths of the cat
tie and sheep destined for the great mar
kets pass through Fort Worth in
transit. Other railroads now pro-
jacted and in course OF con-
structlon, will perfect and consolidate
the livestock interest at Fort Worth.
The refrigerator system is now recognized
as the great factor in the live stock trade.
The owners of the refrigerator plants at
Chicago now have control of the business,
and are credited with making enormous
profits, and largely by the purchase OF
the best Texas cattle. By killing the est
tie ct Fort Worth and transporting
the dressed meat to the Eastern
seaboard, the Gulf or New Orleans, a
greater margin OF profit eau be obtained.
For exsmple, 1000-pound steer shipped
alive to Chicago costs in freight, commits
sion, feed, yardage and shiinkage, no less
than l cent per pound, or $40 per head.
The dressed steer, refrigerated In Chica-
60, weighing in all $50 pounds, costs an
additional So rs freight to the Eastern
seaboard, or total CT S12,75 per head
The sane 100O-pound steer, If dressed and
refrigerated 1T F ,rt Worth, can be placed
at Galveston at 81 % per head freight
charges, and 10 New York for the adj
ditioual cost of 81 % freight, in all cost
OF So 80 per head, saving Of 81 % per
head by using the refrigerator and ship
ping by Southern. ports. Tee figures are
obtained from transportation companies.
Meats killed and. refrigerated at Fort
Worth can be sold TO advantage to butcaE
ers in local markets, also at Galveston
and New Orleans and other Southern Cit
les, besides New York, Boston, Philadel;
phia and Baltimore, the condition of the
trade now being that cold storage Is
easily obtained at all centers.
During summer months, should works
